Je suis surexcité de vous presenter ma musique! La France, a bientôt!
Hello world :) ,
This is Naeki, your favorite anime fan, artist, musician,writer, and kid. I am based in Ithaca, NY, a beautiful artist hub.
I started making music a little over five years ago, whilst playing on a Maschine Mikro 2 given to me by a beat-making friend! My musical journey then began and I started taking classes to learn how to make beats with the Maschine Software, Ableton Live and also learned mixing basics. I made various beats and mixed those stems until I finally felt confident enough to make my own music. From then on, writing, singing to my beats became my norm as I found it easier to work with those. I then made my first songs a couple months later.
I’d like to use a quote from Victor Hugo describing music; ‘ Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent’ . So I see music as an ultimate form of expression. I could be listening to music, and expressing myself through the brain waves emitting from that kid up there (my head). Hence, listening to all sorts of music growing up, I am glad to say I am very eclectic when it comes to music. I create Pop, R’n’B, Trap, Dance, EDM, some HipHop and an experimental genre I like to call T-RnB ( Trap + RnB ). I believe creativity is stifled when there aren’t many options. So, during my creative process I do not restrict myself by taking inspiration from all sources when creating. Artists that have inspired my sound include Michael Jackson,The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, George Michael, Donna Lewis, Swedish House Mafia, Bicep, David Guetta, Rihanna, Adele. I align myself with Michael Jackson, The Weeknd , Bicep due to their incredible work ethic, versatility and direct,sensual and very emotional style of music, singing, production.
I also love being childish ( love that inner child ) and taking a light note on most heavy moments. I am a perfectionist on my day but I am trying to steer away from too much of that. Perfectionism can definitely slow one’s workflow so I do my best to stop not too far from ‘Perfect’s doorstep. I’m also very funny ( I’ve been told). Now, with all that being said, written or sang, get ready for my new release!
Naeki
